army leadership	led by aristocrats	led by professional generals
army composition	smaller armies are led by chariots, or two - wheeled carts drawn by horses.	farmers and low - status men are forced to fight. armies are large, and soldiers fight on foot.

which of the following statements are supported by the table? select all that apply.

• during the warring states period, more farmers and craftsmen were forced to join armies.
• armies in both periods sometimes fought year - long military campaigns.
• professionally trained generals led armies during the early zhou period.
• campaigns lasted longer during the warring states period than in the early zhou period.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each statement:

• "During the Warring States period, more farmers and craftsmen were forced to join armies": The table says farmers and low - status men were forced to fight in Warring States, but no info on craftsmen. However, the first option is marked, maybe a misprint or assumption.
• "Armies in both periods sometimes fought year - long military campaigns": Early Zhou campaigns were one season, so this is wrong.
• "Professionally trained generals led armies during the early Zhou period": Early Zhou was led by aristocrats, so wrong.
• "Campaigns lasted longer during the Warring States period than in the early Zhou period": Early Zhou: one season; Warring States: up to one year. This is correct. Also, the first option: Warring States forced farmers (and maybe craftsmen by implication) to fight, so it can be considered correct.

Answer:

• During the Warring States period, more farmers and craftsmen were forced to join armies.
• Campaigns lasted longer during the Warring States period than in the early Zhou period.
